Col. Logge saves the day .

The Patiogonian Indians spring the trap to soon ! (Army Blue had a run of cards and got carried away !),The allied Indians move forward and open a devistating fire on them ! 

Alerted by the gunfire Col. Logge moves up the regulars in the column.

The Gurkahs move up to take the ridge .

The Allied Indians slaughter their opposition and cause the remnants to flee.

Bothe the Gurkhas and the Indians rush up the ridge !

The Gurkhas reach the summit first and open fire on the Patiogonian Indians , who run off ! , 

The final Warband of enemy Indians are shot to pieces by the combind fire from the Allied tribesmen and the detachment of the Rifles. - at this point the Patiogonian Indians decide to quit the field .

The end game - Logge directs the fire of the Rifles into the fleeing enemies . At this point it became apparent that the battle was lost and the ambush had failed - due to the draw of the cards and the good shooting of Army Red - and the inability of Army Blue to gain the initiative. In Logge's report he takes the credit for the results of the skirmish . An unusual game , poor Army Blue never got going and couldn't hit a barn door ! 

I have been luck enough to be sent a copy of the above photograph from the librarian of the University of Felpersham . Both H.G. Wells and Kipling mention in their memories about meeting Lincoln Logge - Kipling said "he is a very strange fellow indeed" and there was a rumour that Logge corresponded with Wells with ideas for 'Little Wars' - Lincoln Logge seems to have a finger in every pie !
